Radix Astragali, a highly renowned herbal medicine, boasts a venerable history within the realm of the traditional Chinese medicine. Its abundant therapeutic value has elicited widespread scholarly attention. This paper summarizes the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of the Radix Astragali and explores its application status in aquaculture and medical cosmetology. Radix Astragali is rich in chemicals. Flavonoids, saponins and astragalus polysaccharides are the main active components of Radix Astragali. These ingredients have many pharmacological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects. In addition, Radix Astragali as a feed additive can improve the growth and development, and reproductive function and immune health of livestock and poultry. In the medical beauty industry, Radix Astragali has also been developed into a product with effects such as the sun protection and skin repair. These studies provide a basic basis for the research and application of astragalus and its active ingredients.
